Example Of The Power Of Social Media: Single Tweet Can Cause A Riot

I don't know who DJ Kaskade is or if the person is he or she until I read this Los Angeles Times post where he tweeted "Today(at)6pm in Hollywood (at)Mann's Chinese Theatre. ME+BIG SPEAKERS+MUSIC(equals)BLOCK PARTY!!! RT!" and caused a riot as a result.

Over 2K fans converged on his location and was met with riot-geared police.

So, yeah, social media, can be used for good or...just about anything else you can imagine or expect. The consequences, on the other hand, well, one never know.
